Prodigy- Invaders Must Die (Album)

[inside]

Wicked album! Just picked it up and never hit skip first time through which is pretty rare.

It's a mashup of Nuschool breaks, punk'n bass, and some oldschool hardcore. They seem to have taken some cues from Pendulam, but have taken back that sound.

First bit of bass culture to get me excited in a long time.

Highly recommended!

SOME cues from Pendulum?

lol

The parts I've heard of this album, slightly underwhelmed.

[Paroxysm]

I love this album! My favorite tracks so far are "Omen" and "Thunder"

[-evil-duerr-]

ugh.... the 90's called something something.. prodigy sucks.

I like it. I wouldn't say it's their best work (few albums are anywhere near Jilted Generation) but it's like ten times better than their last one. Lots of energy. I'm a big fan of Omen and Thunder.... those tracks are pretty classic Prodigy. Warrior's Dance is kinda "Oh wow, Pendulum did a rad remix of Voodoo People, let's try and do something like that" but pulls it off. A lot of the other tracks are decent but not immensely spectacular.

Whatever, I'd love to see these songs performed live.

i fucking love Piranha, World's on fire and Run with the Wolves. Dave Grohl did the drums on Run with the Wolves

My reply to this was a link to sources of current drum and bass, not intended as spam but a polite nudge away from Pendulol and towards real drum and bass culture. Just tired of hearing everything being compared to Pendulum. There are over 10 years of bass culture that probably haven't seen the light of day especially here in BC.

I was going to specifically link a good set as an example (of something culturally bassier than Invaders must die) but the more I thought of what to suggest the more vast the internet seemed to me so I posted 4 general links. I was just bored and came here to post something. Geez I'm not a spammer. Invaders must die had a couple good tunes with breakbeats that I enjoyed but how come only a couple good tunes after all these years? Why did they let so many other producers make awful remixes of all their best classics over the last decade?

[ebbomega]

^ Fair enough. Just that you didn't really contextualize it in the post and it seemed like just random spam. It's like "OH HEY A THREAD ABOUT DNB LEMME SHOW OFF THESE DNB SITES!" is kinda a bit of a stretch. Thx for the explanation though.

I do take issue with this statement though:

Vancouver's got a pretty thriving bass-culture scene, particularly when looking at dubstep/glitch-hop/grime/dnb, IMO. Between Lighta!, Auto and Shah there are plenty of shows that happen around here of that style. In fact, with dubstep (and related genres) in particular, people out on the East coast (Detroit, Montreal) have been talking about Vancouver's scene as one of the more prominent in the continent over the last year or two.

Ebbomega, you are right. We do have a thriving scene. Just wish there were more people into drum and bass and talking about the producers and different styles as there is in the UK.

Seems like every time I hear a good dnb tune startup at a rave the dj follows it with dubstep instead of building on that energy into more drum and bass. Or even worse a drum and bass intro with an electro drop.

My favourite tune from Prodigys new album is Warriors dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voBNpdXkLnU
Heard it played out on Saturday but after the vocal intro everyone started walking away. Don't think anyone actually knew it was Prodigy.

How could you not compare Invaders with Pendu-agreed-lol. I don't like Pendulam at all. Howlett an co upped the anti with Invaders but hey I'm a sucker for oldschool hardcore sounds. Mix in with the new school reeses sounds pretty sweet, but as reese sounds can some times go... bit generic.

no Idon't think Vancouver is missing out on any bass culture lol. small scene yep, but a very talented one!

this album is awesome, and it sounded even better live last night!

I don't think it compares to fat of the land :(

not a bad album; not their best.

[ebbomega]

^ Few things do. IMO Jilted Generation > Fat Of The Land anyway. There I said it.
